“Calpurnia, the wife of Julius Caesar, was following the guidance of a dream when she warned her husband to “beware the Ides of March.” Caesar ignored the advice and was later killed on the fifteenth day of March-which, in the ancient Roman calendar, was called the Ides of March.”
History is full of people having dreams that came true. I find it very interesting when I hear stories like this.

People in your dreams
“When you dislike someone on your dream, you are really at odds with some part of your own character that you are projecting onto that person.”
I also think that it is possible this person is bothering you in real life and your brain is trying to figure out a way to deal with the situation while you are asleep.
Again, all things in dreams are relative to our perspectives.

Today's quote
Again, this is not my work. It is from a daily calendar that I received a few years back.
"Sometimes dreams of famous people are nothing more than fantasies and escapes. To dream of being romantically involved with a movie star, for example, may be a nice change from the cares and responsibilities associated with a real relationship in waking life.
"Sometimes dreams of famous people are nothing more than fantasies and escapes. To dream of being romantically involved with a movie star, for example, may be a nice change from the cares and responsibilities associated with a real relationship in waking life.
At other times, we may be projecting onto a particular celebrity whose trait we wish we had within ourselves. It is helpful to ask yourself what qualities you associate with the person in order to determine where you feeling a lack in your own life."
We see celebrities everyday. I think it is also possible to dream about a celebrity and the celebrity is actually someone else in your life, that you see is similar to the specific celebrity. Just like when authors write books and sometimes base characters off of real people in their lives.
And sometimes dreaming about a celebrity means that you are wanting to have a different, maybe famous life. Oh to not have to work 60 hours a week to pay the mortgage and still have money on the credits cards......

Dream Calendar
I have an old dream calendar that has something related to dreams on each day of the year. I'm not sure if there is any copyright problems if I make sure to tell people the quotes are from there, and not my own. But some of them are very interesting and spark thought.
The thing is, with dreams, each dream is completely different. If you want to figure out what they mean, you need to look at the symbols yourself, and figure out what those symbols mean to you. I hate spiders, but some people don't. So if I dream about spiders, it will mean something completely different for someone who loves spiders.
My psychology prof in high school told me about a students dream. This girl had dreamt that she could not choose which pair of shoes to buy. She was in a shoe store and there were just so many to pick from. In real life, this girl was trying to decide what college to go to. Now after you hear this, it might seem pretty straight forward. But sometimes the meaning has to be drawn out.
Some might say that we create meaning in our dreams. I believe the meaning is merely created by our subconscious which tries to work things through from our conscious life. And I believe that dreams are always important in figuring out what is bothering us. And by bothering, I mean what our brain is working on, not necessarily something negative.
There are so many untapped areas of our brain. I believe that not only are our dreams important, but that we can use our brains in fenominal ways when we sleep. There are so many experiences of traveling to other planes. I often wonder if they are more than just dreams. I know the people who have experienced this will tell me it is more, but I've never experienced it myself.
So here's to the journey of working with dreams

Oneiromancy
This blog is all about dreams, interpretation and study of dreams. This is a great passion of mine, and I've been experiencing many weird dreams lately. Maybe I need to start working with them more. And this is a great place to do that.
Maybe I'll get a following on this one. It sure would be nice to get some responses here. So let's see what happens.
